Management’s Responsibility
To the Shareholders of Emgold Mining Corporation:
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including responsibility for significant accounting judgments and estimates in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and ensuring that all information in the annual report is consistent with the statements. This responsibility includes selecting appropriate accounting principles and methods, and making decisions affecting the measurement of transactions in which objective judgment is required.
In discharging its responsibilities for the integrity and fairness of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, management designs and maintains the necessary accounting systems and related internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are authorized, assets are safeguarded and financial records are properly maintained to provide reliable information for the preparation of financial statements.
The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee are composed primarily of Directors who are neither management nor employees of the Company. The Board is responsible for overseeing management in the performance of its financial reporting responsibilities. The Board fulfills these responsibilities by reviewing the financial information prepared by management and discussing relevant matters with management and external auditors. The Audit Committee has the responsibility of meeting with management, and external auditors to discuss the internal controls over the financial reporting process, auditing matters and financial reporting issues. The Board is also responsible for recommending the appointment of the Emgold’s external auditors.
We draw attention to Note 1 in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s independent auditor has not performed a review of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with standards established by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants for a review of interim financial statements by an entity’s auditor.

The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral property interests and has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the Company’s ability to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
There are several adverse conditions that cast significant doubt upon the soundness of this assumption. The Company has negative working capital, has incurred operating losses since inception, has no source of revenue, is unable to self-finance operations and has significant on-going cash requirements to meet its overhead and maintain its mineral interests. Further, the business of mining and exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon several factors. These include the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of these properties, and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of mineral properties.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Company to continue to operate as a going concern it must obtain additional financing; although the Company has been successful in the past at raising funds, there can be no assurance that this will continue in the future.
If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used and such adjustments could be material.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 28 November 2012.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.
The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar.
3) | Summary of significant accounting policies |
The accounting policies and methods of computation followed in preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those followed in preparing the most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements. For a summary of significant accounting policies, please refer to the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012.
4) | Critical accounting estimates |
Management has made significant assumptions about the future that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made. These assumptions relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

a) | Idaho-Maryland Property, California |
In fiscal 2002, the Company renegotiated a lease with the owners of the Idaho-Maryland Property (“I-M Property”) and surrounding areas in the Grass Valley Mining District, California.
The owners granted to the Company the exclusive right and option to purchase all of the leased property. The property is subject to a 3% Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”) from production if the property is still being leased. Any royalty payments made prior to exercising the purchase option may be deducted from the purchase price. During the year ended 31 December 2010, the Company extended the lease and option agreement from 1 February 2011, for an additional two years to 1 February 2013. Lease payments during the extension period will be $30,000 per quarter. In conjunction with the extension, the lessors agreed to defer payments for 2010 totaling $120,000. Under the terms of the deferral, this amount will now be added to the purchase price of the I-M Property, the first installment of which becomes due on 1 February 2013. The $120,000 will be subject to interest calculated at 5.25% compounded annually. Provided that payments are kept current, the Company may purchase the property at any time. The purchase price at 1 February 2013, would be $6,154,717, and is being increased by 3% each lease-year.
In April 2004, the Company acquired a parcel of land adjacent to other properties under option by the Company in Grass Valley, California from a non-related party, in addition to the purchase of mining rights from another non-related party on other claims for a total of $589,276 in mineral property acquisition costs.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to a one-time share issuance of 280,823 common shares at a market price of Cdn$0.55 per share on the date of filing to the seller for the purchase of the Whisper Property. No common shares were issued as bonuses, finder's fees or commissions in connection with this transaction. The common shares issued pursuant to the agreement are subject to a hold period of four (4) months, plus one (1) day from the date of issuance.
b) | Buckskin Rawhide Property, Nevada |
In January 2010 the Company completed a lease and option to purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the rights to the Buckskin Rawhide mineral claims, a gold prospect located near Fallon, Nevada.

During the lease period, the Company may conduct exploration and, if warranted, complete a NI 43 101 compliant feasibility study. On completion of the feasibility study, the Company may acquire 100% ownership of the property by paying Nevada Sunrise, LLC an additional amount of $250,000. Nevada Sunrise, LLC is required to use these funds to purchase a retained 25% interest in the property from Maurice and Lorraine Castagne, pursuant to an underlying property agreement, and to transfer that title to the Company. Upon commercial production and after acquisition of 100% interest in the property, Nevada Sunrise, LLC will be entitled to a 2.5% NSR on production from the property. The annual lease payments of $10,000 due in December 2011 and 2010 were paid by the issuance of 106,290 and 49,424 common shares, respectively.
In February 2012, the Company signed a Lease and Option to Purchase Agreement with Jeremy C. Wire to acquire the PC and RH mineral claims, located 0.3 miles west of Emgold’s existing Buckskin Rawhide Property, in Mineral County, Nevada. The PC and RH claims, “Buckskin Rawhide West”, comprise 21 unpatented lode mining claims totalling 420 acres. Pursuant to the lease agreement, advance royalty payments will be payable by the Company to Jeremy C. Wire in the amount of $10,000 per year during years 2012 to 2014, $20,000 in 2015 and $30,000 per year in years 2016 to 2018.
This acquisition expands the Company’s Buckskin Rawhide gold-silver property (the Property”) to 73 unpatented mining claims totalling 1,460 acres. Forty six (46) of these claims are under a lease and option to purchase agreement with Nevada Sunrise, LLC and the remaining six claims were staked by Emgold. The Property now consists of two non-contiguous claim blocks; Buckskin Rawhide and Buckskin Rawhide West.

b) | Common shares, issued and fully paid |
At the Annual and Special General Meeting of its shareholders held on September 18, 2009, the shareholders approved a special resolution to alter the Company’s authorized share structure by consolidating all of the issued and outstanding common shares without par value, of which 168,972,873 pre-consolidation common shares were issued, on the basis of ten (10) pre-consolidation common shares to one (1) post-consolidation common share, after adjusting for rounding, or 16,894,310 post-consolidation common shares. In addition, the issued and outstanding Class A preference shares were consolidated on the same basis, resulting in 394,843 Class A preference shares, after consolidation. The share consolidation of the common shares without par value and the Class A preference shares was effective December 21, 2009. All periods presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse split.
Finder’s fees of Cdn$3,200 and 32,000 finder’s warrants were awarded in relation to the second tranche of the financing. Each finder’s warrant entitles the holder to purchase, for a period of 24 months, one common share of the Company at a price of Cdn$0.15. The finder warrants were valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: weighted average risk free interest rate of 1.23%, volatility factors of 101% and an expected life of 2 years. The total value ascribed to the finder's warrants was $1,605.
In December 2011 the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of flow-through units for gross proceeds of $767,750. A total of 5,905,769 units were issued at a price of Cdn$0.13 per unit.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
In accordance with IFRS, an obligation to issue shares for a price that is not fixed in the Company’s functional currency, and that does not qualify as a rights offering, must be classified as a derivative liability and measured at fair value with changes recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statement of comprehensive loss as they arise. The Company has issued such share purchase warrants As a result, these share purchase warrants must be accounted for as a liability. As at 30 September 2012, the Company recorded a warrant liability in the amount of $589,000 (31 December 2011 - $1,079,253). The warrants were valued upon issuance and subsequently revalued on 30 September 2012 using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following assumptions: weighted average risk free rate of 0.92%, volatility factors of 107% and an expected life of 1.05 years. An unrealized gain on warrant liability of $490,253 has been recorded in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended 30 September 2012.
e) | Stock-based compensation |
For the nine month period ended 30 September 2012 and the twelve month period end 31 December 2011, the Company issued stock options to its directors, officers, employees, and consultants and recognized stock-based compensation as follows:
| | 30 September 2012 | | | 31 December 2011 | |
Total options granted | | | 2,700,000 | | | | 405,700 | (i) |
Average exercise price | | $ | 0.15 | | | $ | 0.175 | |
Estimated fair value of compensation | | $ | 176,025 | | | $ | 58,797 | |
Estimated fair value per option | | $ | 0.06 | | | $ | 0.19 | |
(iii) | These options were re-priced in the year ended 31 December 2011 as discussed above in note 8(c) |

The fair value of the stock-based compensation of options to be recognized in the accounts has been estimated using the Black-Scholes Model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
| | 30 September 2012 | | | 31 December 2011 | |
Risk free interest rate | | | 1.62 | % | | | 1.68 | % |
Expected dividend yield | | | 0.00 | % | | | 0.00 | % |
Expected stock price volatility | | | 151 | % | | | 101 | % |
Expected option life in years | | | 5 | | | | 2.18 | |
Expected maturity rate | | | 70-100 | % | | | 70-100 | % |
Stock-based compensation for the options that vested during the period is as follows:
| | 30 September 2012 | | | 31 December 2011 | |
Number of options vested | | | 2,350,000 | | | | - | |
| | | | | | | | |
Compensation recognized | | $ | 176,025 | | | $ | - | |
The Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model was created for use in estimating the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options. The Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the highly subjective input assumptions can materially affect the calculated values, management believes that the accepted Black-Scholes model does not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock option awards.
